Cousin of slain teen would-be stabber ‘happy’

The teenage cousin of the 13-year-old Palestinian girl who was shot dead this morning trying to stab an Israeli guard tells Channel 2 that she had expressed in the past a desire to carry out attacks against Jews.

He says that the girl had watched the funerals of Palestinian assailants on TV and admired them.

“Everyone wants a martyr’s death. Of course I’m happy,” he says.
